Several exigencies drove the project: the database version was no longer supported; the data was untidy; several new features and many reports were critically needed to meet growing responsibilities; no one on staff could handle development in Delphi. The charter grew a bit as we brought real procedures together with the de-engineered Delphi and data. I was using a Korean diagramming application in beta called Aurora. The first cut was drawn after slicing through the Delphi source files with grep and regex to generate lists of functions, data fields, cross-function calls, and database access queries. Working from this diagram of the functionality in the old code, I fitted user stories into the diagrams to ensure that we would lose none of the functions "hidden in the box" while fitting in new functionality to meet more modern expectations.</span></p>

It could not generate VB, so we coded from the pictures. Aurora also did not do state diagrams. And it was critical to nail down the states of a Sheriffs Work Program Participant, particularly because we wanted to capture policy rules as data tables and drive automatic state changes in code. I diagrammed several versions in PowerPoint.</span></p>

These status reports were designed to spotlight the different viewpoints and the final decisions.  I used Word's hidden text feature to hide all but the most recent activity.</span></p>

Michael (real name YoungSeoh) and I are a great team and of one mind, edutainment is the way to go. After 90 minutes, the new EPIK teachers voted to delay lunch another half hour. On the epiktools website, this is the PowerPoint deck we used.</span></p>

I taught 20 to 22 classes each week with eight different co-teachers. I also wanted to offer students a ready resource for review [preview? really?], and give them extended opportunities for practice. This website resulted. Included are pages with recorded stories for repeated listening, and pages showing the relative effort put forth by students and classes.</span></p>

The range of ability (from two cuss words to quite good) and range of interest (negative to enthusiastic) were huge. For the sophomores I built each 50 minute session to be keeping pace with the textbook, with some focused practice and review, but packaged with short diversions of cartoons, animations, video clips, games, songs, and grammar micro-sessions sections. My favorite feature was a link on the master page to return to a "jump" page that served as a table of contents; it let me switch gears and jump to any activity depending on how the class was going. Sadly, you won't be able to hear the music or watch the swfs.</span></p>

I usually loaded it with material from three weeks past. The main attraction for teachers is that it takes care of all the scoring for any number of teams from two to seven. Everyone is welcome to download it. It uses VBA extensively, and unfortunately requires a licensed copy of PowerPoint 2007 to run it because of the features that it needs. Here I present a series of screen shots, and an opportunity to download it.</span></p>
